Follow!

Qin Yan and Little Black had gone dozens of yards before Xue Ye suddenly remembered something.

Enduring the searing pain, he staggered back to where his severed arm had fallen and struggled to pick it up.

As long as he still had the arm, even after some time had passed, a Great Grandmaster Level expert could help reattach it and restore him to his former state.

And his grandfather was an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster!

He had someone who could help.

Then he looked toward the two figures about to disappear ahead of him. Hesitation flashed in his eyes.

A moment later, resolve took its place.

He could not stay here and wait to die!

The remaining Phoenix Descendants had been wiped out, but danger lurked everywhere in the Azure Dragon Ancient Mountain. In his current state, he would never survive alone!

And that mysterious black-robed figure had saved him... Perhaps following him would be safer?

He might even learn what happened next and bring back vital information for Her Highness!

With that thought, Xue Ye hesitated no longer.

He swallowed a Healing Pill and stumbled after Qin Yan and Little Black.

Qin Yan noticed Xue Ye following behind him but did not slow down. He merely asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Xue Ye faltered for a moment, then steadied himself. His voice was firm.

"No."

"If you'd wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have saved me just now, much less let me live this long."

Qin Yan kept walking without a reply.

His silence weighed on Xue Ye more heavily than words.

Xue Ye gritted his teeth. He knew this was his only chance.

Summoning his courage, he quickened his pace until he was just behind Qin Yan's shoulder. "Sir... I want to follow you."
